From Corporate Exec to Homeboy Industries

If you’ve never heard Homeboy Industries, you’re just a brief Google search away from discovering an incredible nonprofit that is considered to be the most the most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and reentry program in the country.  In this episode, Susan Ryan talks with Homeboy CEO Tom Vozzo, who will also give the opening keynote talk at our upcoming Center for Innovation 2024 conference this November. His book, “The Homeboy Way,” examines the many lessons he’s learned as CEO and how to bring the Homeboy philosophy to life as the perfect antidote to the massive tidal currents of social injustice and inequities in the workplace. Vozzo shares his journey from running billion-dollar businesses to leading Homeboy Industries. He talks about the organization’s programs, services, and businesses that help to change lives and celebrate each individual’s worth.   More information about Vozzo and his book here: https://homeboyindustries.org/thehomeboyway/ A short video of Vozzo talking about Homeboy and his work: https://youtu.be/dOm0LbxHhk4?si=udO6FiWHV4UrJFxI Sign up for the CFI 2024 conference to see Vozzo speak in person: https://thegreenhouseproject.org/2024-conference-agenda/
